Reworking & Restructuring Existing Vineyards

As with any asset, time, effort and maintenance are all necessary to ensure a vineyard is operating at its optimum productivity. This includes both the capital infrastructure in the vineyard and the vines themselves. FABAL are experienced in knowing when to rework and restructure an existing vineyard and how to best optimise this process for maximum results.
